Next month marks the annual ShakeOut season for earthquake drills. On October 20, everyone is encouraged to take part in a “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” drill at 10:20 a.m. The event also has other earthquake preparedness activities. Check out the ShakeOut Drill Manual for tips for K–12 schools to determine their level of participation. ShakeOut also offers manuals for childcare facilities and pre-schools, colleges and universities, and youth organizations. But ShakeOut isn’t just for educational groups—everyone can participate!
